Abstract: Multiple camera systems which use laser illumination for ranging benefit from a heartbeat to synchronize the timing of the individual lasers to eliminate collisions of multiple simultaneous laser emissions. An optical micromesh system provides for the dynamic entry and egress of mobile and stationary nodes. The optical communication between nodes may be controlled using time domain multiplexing (TDM) to avoid cross talk and communication collision due to overlapping laser illumination. By using an optical, laser based micromesh network, laser ranging can be used to dynamically map node location.

Abstract: A camera based depth mapping system. Depth information is coded with colors to make a laser-generated 3D depth map easier to interpret. In the event that the laser illumination is not sufficient, the depth information can have a low signal to noise ratio, i.e., the depth map can be noisy. Color noise reduction techniques are used to alleviate this problem.

Abstract: A method of reducing a wetness gradient development for a package of wet wipes is provided. The method includes, after wet wipes are enclosed within a package to form the package of wet wipes, locating the package of wet wipes in a first orientation such that a first side faces downward and an opposite second side faces upward to form a first wetness gradient after a preselected amount of time. Prior to opening the package of wet wipes, the method includes inverting the package of wet wipes according to a predetermined turning schedule to place the package of wet wipes in a second orientation such that the first side faces upward and the second side faces downward to form a second wetness gradient that is different from the first wetness gradient.

Abstract: A baby bottle blender includes a baby bottle having a top collar and a bottom collar, and a nipple. The nipple cap is removably attached to the top collar of the baby bottle and holds the nipple extending through a central aperture of the nipple cap onto the top collar. An agitating unit is centrally retained within a bottom attaching cap. A base member has a top recess to engage the agitating unit. An electrical mechanism in the base member operates the agitating unit, so that the agitating unit will thoroughly blend a formula in a liquid in the baby bottle in approximately seven seconds.

Abstract: A baby bottle blender includes a baby bottle having a top collar with external threads and a bottom collar with external threads. A nipple has an anti-colic air vent. The nipple cap is internally threaded to be removable threaded onto the top collar of the baby bottle and holds the nipple extending through a central aperture of the nipple cap onto the top collar. A top cover snaps over the nipple cap and covers the nipple. An agitating unit is centrally retained within a bottom attaching cap of the baby bottle. Next, a base member has a top recess to engage with the agitating unit in the bottom attaching cap on the baby bottle. An electrical mechanism in the base member is for operating the agitating unit, so that the agitating unit will mix formula within a liquid placed through the top collar of the baby bottle in approximately seven (7) seconds to thoroughly blend the formula.
